Millennium people was good, not his best work. Kingdom Come had more bite for my money but Ballard always delivers a good helping of wit and pathos.
Onto Ursula LeGuin's The Left Hand Of God. Not my usual fayre but I've heard good things. |

Just finished Lamentation by C.S Sansom. Very enjoyable. Currently reading H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald which has begun well and that reminded me about The Once And Future King by T.H White which I read and loved about 45 years ago and have downloaded to read again.

I'm on the final stretch of Midnight's Children.
Absolutely fabulous book and well deserving of it's Booker of Booker Prize win. I've got about fifteen books staring at me reproachfully from my to-read pile (with more on the way!) that have been sadly neglected since I started MC. It's really not a book you can fly through, but I'm glad I finally put the effort in to reading it. |

Finished Johan Theorin "The Asylum". A fine psychological thriller based in a Swedish mental hospital. His other novels in the Oland series are wll worth a look too.

The Island of Doctor Moreau - HG Wells. It's pretty messed up, gruesome but it's Wells so I'm gonna read to the end.
The Moving Finger, The Sittaford Mystery - Agatha Christie. I like a bit of Christie, very quick reads. The Shining - Stephen King. Finding this a bit hard to get through tbh. |

Just finished IT by Stephen King. It was pretty good in parts but not as gripping as I expected it to be. Also, when it came to the child gangbang I was seriously

The Girl on the Train - Paula Hawkins
If you liked Into the Darkest Corner and Before I Go to Sleep then this is right up your street. I'm about 40% into it right now and it is a real page-turner. Got great reviews on Amazon and I can understand why. |

The Keep by F. Paul Wilson. I don't usually read horror stories, but I really like this one. I'm going to seek out some of his other books.

Complicit by Nicci French-
I think I'm just about Nicci Frenched out sadly I no longer find them as riveting as I once did, it seems very similar to all their others and the heroines are always oversexed, underfed, completely beautiful, rarified, passionate women which grates slightly after a dozen or so books.

Just started reading 'Winners' by Danielle Steel.
The topic is interesting, it's a bit different - a 17-year-old future Olympic skiier, accident, badly hurt (that's all happened within the first couple of chapters and is on the back of the book so no spoilers there!). But I really don't like the writing style at the moment. Only on chapter 3 though, so will give it a chance... |
